VIII. Summary and Conclusions
Acute lung injury (ALI) is well defined in humans, but there is no
agreement as to the main features of acute lung injury in animal
models. A Committee was organized to determine the main features
that characterize ALI in animal models and to identify the most
relevant methods to assess these features. We used a Delphi approach in which a series of questionnaires were distributed to a panel
of experts in experimental lung injury. The Committee concluded
that the main features of experimental ALI include histological
evidence of tissue injury, alteration of the alveolar capillary barrier,
presence of an inflammatory response, and evidence of physiological dysfunction; they recommended that, to determine if ALI has
occurred, at least three of these four main features of ALI should be
present. The Committee also identified key very relevant and
somewhat relevant measurements for each of the main features of
ALI and recommended the use of least one very relevant measurement and preferably one or two additional separate measurements
to determine if a main feature of ALI is present. Finally, the
Committee emphasized that not all of the measurements listed
can or should be performed in every study, and that measurements
not included in the list are by no means irrelevant. Our list of
features and measurements of ALI is intended as a guide for investigators, and ultimately investigators should choose the particular measurements that best suit the experimental questions being
addressed as well as take into consideration any unique aspects of
the experimental design.

1. Assessment of the kinetics of lung injury. Given the relatively controlled nature of experimental models of ALI, the
time of exposure of the inciting stimulus (e.g., lipopolysaccharide, acid aspiration, hemorrhagic shock, or injurious mechanical ventilation) is usually known with precision. This differs
from the human situation where the time of exposure to an
inciting stimulus (e.g., bacterial infection with sepsis) is often
less clear. Nonetheless, in animal systems that seek to model
human ALI, maximal lung injury should be evident within 24
hours of exposure to the inciting stimulus to distinguish those
conditions that reflect more subacute or chronic lung injury.
2. Radiographic assessment of lung injury. The ability to
assess lung injury radiographically in animal models is constrained by several factors, including the small size of rodents
and the limited availability of radiographic facilities for animals
in most laboratories. Nonetheless, if available, radiographic
demonstration (plain X-ray, micro-computer tomography) of
bilateral and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates in animals represents
one parameter to assist in assessing the extent of lung injury.
This is more feasible for larger animals such as ferrets, rabbits,
dogs, or sheep.
3. Physiological assessment of lung injury. (i) Abnormalities of gas exchange. In humans, an elevated Aa gradient,
reflecting compromise of the gas exchange function of the lungs,
is one of the principal parameters used to diagnose, stratify, and
monitor patients with ALI or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although this is feasible and indeed routine in
larger animals, it is more difficult in rodents, and especially
mice, because of the difficulty of obtaining a sufficient sample
of arterialized blood without introducing other variables (e.g.,
trauma during sample collection or hypovolemia from removal
of a substantial fraction of the circulating blood volume). Noninvasive continuous monitoring of capillary or tissue oxygen
saturation using conventional microscopic or fluorescence enhanced oximetry or electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy is technically possible and is a useful parameter to monitor
if the appropriate instrumentation is available (8, 9).
(ii) Decreased lung compliance. Decreased lung compliance
due to pulmonary edema and atelectasis is a hallmark of human
ALI/ARDS and is an important and easily assessed parameter
in animal models. In mechanically ventilated animals, respiratory system compliance can be assessed in vivo during mechanical ventilation in a similar fashion to how it is measured in
humans or by determining the pressurevolume curve after
a recruitment maneuver. A particularly useful method is to use
commercially available ventilator systems that allow automated
measurement of respiratory mechanics and generate pressurevolume curves and measurement of compliance (10). These
systems can be programmed to automatically perform measurements at predetermined time intervals. These systems are
effective but remain expensive. Measurement of lung compliance in vivo requires an estimate of pleural pressure. An equally
acceptable method is to measure the pressurevolume curve of
lungs ex vivo.

III. METHODOLOGY
A series of targeted questionnaires was transmitted by e-mail to
a panel of experts. We requested participation from a total of 29
individuals selected with the goal of generating an international
panel of investigators with broad expertise in lung injury. Of these
29 individuals, two declined, three did not reply, and two failed
to return conflict-of-interest statements, leaving the final number
of participants at 22. The first questionnaire was designed to
generate a list of main features (categories) of ALI in animals, as
well as specific measurements (criteria) that can be used to

universities and health care facilities. We would also like to point out
that, depending on the experimental question, the fact that fully
developed ALI has occurred may not be necessary or relevant to
establish. For example, a model with alveolar neutrophilia
without changes in alveolar permeability is suitable for studying the mechanisms of neutrophil migration, even if such
a model does not reproduce all of the main features of
ALI. Thus, our list of features and measurements of ALI is
intended as a guide for investigators, but ultimately investigators should choose any particular measurement based on their
unique experimental questions and the characteristics of their
experimental design.
One additional aspect of the proposed features is that they
emphasize functional parameters of injury over individual molecular pathways. This highlights an important distinction between evidence of activation of a particular signaling pathway
(e.g., the MAP kinase pathway) and lung injury. In this regard,
there may be activation of (one or multiple) signaling pathways
without concomitant lung injury. Conversely, there may be
evidence of lung injury without activation of particular signaling
pathways. This is not to say that mechanistic studies aimed at
dissecting the role of signaling pathways in lung injury are not
important but rather that the presence or absence of evidence of
activation of these pathways is distinct from whether or not
there is evidence of ALI.

Figure 2. Comparison of neutrophils from three mammalian species. (A) Human neutrophils show a typical
multi-lobed nucleus interconnected by thin chromatin
strands, and a colorless cytoplasm on Wright-Giemsa
stains. Notice the presence of two eosinophils (open
arrows) that can be distinguished by their pink cytoplasm
and bilobulated nuclei (peripheral blood cytospin, DiffQuick, 4003). (B) Murine neutrophils exhibit characteristic ring- or pretzeloid-shaped nucleus with drumstick
shaped nodules containing pericentric heterochromatin;
as in humans, the cytoplasm is colorless, whereas eosinophils are pink and have a bilobulated nucleus (peripheral
blood cytospin, Diff Quick, 4003). In contrast, (C and D)
rabbit neutrophils are notorious for their pink coloration
(black arrows in D), and can be easily confused with the
eosinophil of other mammalian species; they can be
recognized because of their multilobulated nucleus, which
is very similar to that of the human neutrophil (C, lung

6303; and D, further magnification from the section
in C ). Note the different color of a macrophage (D,

ALI is most frequently accompanied by an inflammatory response within the lungs. Among possible measurements of
inflammation, three were identified by the panel as very
relevant. These included total neutrophil counts in the BAL
fluid, lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) (a surrogate for neutrophil
influx), and measurements of proinflammatory cytokines. Each
of these parameters is easily measured in most research
laboratories by the following methodologies.
Neutrophils in the BAL uid. The quantification of neutrophils in BAL fluid reflects migration of neutrophils into the
airspaces of the lungs. This measurement is most readily
accomplished by performing a differential analysis of cells
collected from the BAL. The addition of ethylenediamine
tetraacetic acid (EDTA) to the fluid used to perform the
BAL (e.g., 0.9% NaCl or PBS) will prevent clumping of the
cells and facilitate counting. After collection, the samples
should be kept on ice and analyzed as soon as possible to
prevent cell death. Animals can be killed at relevant time points
(e.g., 1, 3, 5, and 7 d postinsult), the trachea can be cannulated
and saline (generally a volume of 1 ml for mice) is instilled into
lungs and then recovered. This procedure can be repeated
several times. The total cell pellet is then collected by centri-

VII. LIMITATIONS
This document represents a consensus reached among a diverse
group of investigators actively involved in the study of ALI.
However, it does not reflect unanimity, and there were clearly
areas of diverging opinions indicating the complexities involved in many of these measurements. As such, this document
is not meant to be prescriptive or to suggest that there is only
one way of assessing ALI, insofar as different model systems
and local availability of instrumentation may be the overriding
factors that dictate the variables to be measured. As discussed
